Hmmm. Can you send me some as an example? Bob must have done something
really unusual if 2.14's checks won't allow the packets through.

Yeah we could probably add that as a new packet type. Probably not in
2.14 though, only in the CVS code.

I guess I'm in need of some clarificatin, informatin or a good THWAK.
Gateing the new PCSat from 145.825 to the APRS IS with aprsd. The satallite is sending down some 'GPS Engineering' data, that's not in normal APRS format. It's not getting to the IS stream.
Am I correct in remembering that aprsd 2.1.4.vk3sb.2 filters out some of what it considers 'bad packets'?
If so - any way to make it conditional, maybe filter out bad packets, except those from PCSat?
Ideas and/or suggestions welcome.

Not strictly, but it has to at least resemble a 'good packet'

There in lies the problem. On one hand you have the IS fundamentalist
chanting "If it ain't AX.25, don't put it on the wire" and on the other HAM
purists (experimentation for the sake of experimentation). This is a
constant debate on the forums and I'm not sure what the right answer is.
